L’articolo esamina l’inquadramento dei diritti sociali nell’ordinamento costituzionale italiano, concentrandosi in particolar modo sulle recenti riforme politiche intraprese dai governi italiani, al fine di evitare il collasso dello Stato sociale di fronte alle sfide della peggiore crisi economica dei nostri tempi. L'autore sostiene che, anche se è auspicabile un ripensamento delle politiche sociali nazionali, il riconoscimento e la tutela dei diritti sociali spettano ad un soggetto in grado di affrontare efficacemente tale crisi politica, economica e sociale: l'Unione europea.
